This will make a thick, dark colored, sweet and spicy ketchup which is not far in flavor from the commercial kind. This recipe only yielded about 4 generous Tablespoons, although it could be thickened instead of reducing for a larger quantity with a milder flavor. A and B secretors might try this using the No Tomato Tomato Sauce as the 'tomato' base, but I haven't explored this.

Ingredients:

14 oz can of tomatoes

1 medium red onion

1 teaspoon olive oil

juice from half a lemon

1-2 Tablespoons molasses according to taste

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon allspice (or only a pinch of ground cloves)

a pinch or two of cayenne pepper (if not compliant, increase amount of ginger)

How to make it:

Finely chop the onion.

Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil.

Simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.

Press the mixture through a sieve to extract as much liquid as possible.

Keep the tomato and onion to flavor stews/soups.

Reduce the resulting liquid on a medium to high heat until thickened to the desired consistency.

Keep stirring to avoid burning as it will thicken quickly.Note:Fantastic with sweet potato fries or freshly baked soda bread!
